Hiking in Ocala is never dull!
While hiking in Orlando, we saw wild turkeys (who knew they can fly?) and deer. In Ocala we see bears and gators.
That freaky guy was chillin’ in the springs today!
See him?
Sadie was intrigued. Gators ain’t no thang!
Gators don’t phase Sadie and yet she is extremely freaked out by skateboards.
My friend Lindsey and I met up late this morning for a pre-lunch two-mile hike. I haven’t seen her in a few weeks, so it was great to catch up with a friend and exercise Sadie all at the same time.
The simple 40-minute break in my work day left me feeling rejuvenated!
Lunch
When I got home, it was time for lunch.
Lunch today was weird.
But it was also delicious!
I was craving so many different things today. A smoothie! Chips! Peanut butter!
Why not have them all?
Chips dipped in peanut butter? Suuure. Stranger things have been done.
I tried a new kind of peanut butter today, thanks to a sample I received from the kind people at Smart Balance.
The verdict? Fantastic!
The taste is exactly like traditional peanut butter but it’s all natural and doesn’t have hydrogenated oil or refined sugar. I am a fan.
Along with my weird chips ‘n’ peanut butter plate, I made myself a chocolate smoothie by combining the following in my blender:
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
- 1 spoonful Smart Balance peanut butter
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 large handfuls fresh spinach
- One pinch xanthan gum (for thickening)
Drink up, buttercup!
Off to fill out some important paperwork (bleh!) and then put together a giveaway that is going to pop up on the blog this weekend. Runners, I have a feeling you’re going to like this one!

i think its so funny that your dog is afraid of skateboards. my cat will meow in the face of the largest dog to ever visit our apartment but he is afraid of my red field hockey stick!
question: for your smoothie, chocolate but add spinach?? i would have never thought those could be mixed, can you taste the spinach or is it just for added health benefit?
